I'm really liking the game and the possibilities of the story but the MC is the most angsty 45 year old man I've ever seen.

Blernblern whoever told you that 45 year old men don't get anxious or uncertain about the path they were on, lied very much to your face. No one is exempt from being that way no matter their age, and I say this as a 46 year old male. Some people decide to do as the MC did, look back and see that nothing worked out they way they wanted with the path they are on, and just move onto another, but that is still as scary later in life than in it is earlier, especially since a 40+ person has a lot more to lose than a 20ish person. The more settled you are, the harder it is to just up and leave it all behind.

This project is all over the place - too ambitious and in half-baked stage. Like the MC it couldn't decide what it want to be and which direction to go. The parallel story lines dangling in the void exacerbate the feeling of not well thought out stuff.

indeed, well said
it's not like you reached 40+ and everything will forever go well...things can take a shitty turn anytime and being 40+ doesn't excuse you from being anxious, that shit can still happen.

Damn, sounds like we have been playing different games! So far this game seems very thought out to me. A "midlife crisis", especially after getting out of a long relationship is hardly uncommon. The side stories with the other girls is what gives it substance, we get to see our future LI's before we meet them.

Downloaded, played it, enjoyed it, didn't mind the fishing rod episode :cool: and after one or two more updates I'll give it a proper review.

I like that we have a mature MC and not your typical "college student" sociopath. I also like that there is some substance in the dialogues. However, I find too cheesy the seduction dialogues that the MC has with the women (being the redhead or the blonde). So I found myself skipping dialogues even if I don't necessarily want to do it, because as I said, character's actions are somehow coherent.

Sorry but the level of "respectfulness" in the dialogue makes me cringe so fuckin hard that i couldn't keep playing

For real, the line, "I still want to ask for your forgiveness again. I don't want you to believe that I saw you as an object" :sick:, hurts

Seriously? All this just because you took a peek on some ass? Looks like i'm playing a porn version of "the 40 year-old virgin"

I'm 44 myself and while I understand your point I'm definitely nowhere near as angsty about my age. It's different things that give me anxiety. While I understand the MC in that he's set up his company and feels like he's missed his youth and life in general, he just feels a bit too fatalistic and self pitying as at my age I feel very much like I'm not missing a step and still feel like I'm in the prime of my life. I will however admit that I've finally had to say goodbye to my dreams of a professional sporting career.

My main point that I probably didn't convey accurately was that I'm hoping for more silver fox attitude and less angst in the future but I have a feeling that's where the story will be going to anyway. The MC should have nothing to worry about. Dude is a catch.

Hi! Thanks for your inputs.
I'm sorry that you don't like the dialogues, like I said a few times before, not every game is for everybody.
I hope you find other games that suits you better!!

Hey Blernblern!
I complete understand what you are saying, and it's perfectly fine to feel different as another person.
I'm going to share something that surely is not going to be remotely interesting for most but if someone is interested in reading it here goes:

Anyway, don't worry, he is going to change, he is lucky to have found 2 wonderful women who are already helping him to do it and he is going to find 3 more who are going to finish achieving it.
To summarize, it is not a matter of age, it is a matter of what he had to live, because of his choices without a doubt, and that is what makes it even worse.
